Played the Oaks/Valley combo this morning 5/2/22 in a shotgun start at 11am as a part of the Yarrow Family Ymca tournament. We started on Oaks 8. Weather was chamber of commerce in Westlake Village 70 degrees with about a club a wind.

First time playing here and it reminded me of some Holes at Sherwood CC which I have walked numerous times. I really enjoyed the Lakes layout. Many Holes here are tee off either above or below canyons. Lots of fun sight lines. Would categorize some of the Holes on the Oaks nine tighter target shoot Holes but nothing tricked up at all. The par 3 7th I believe on the Lakes was beautiful hitting over a majestic lake with waterfalls. Lakes contained more dogleg Holes and Oaks holes were straighter. Really want to come back and try the Valley nine as it looked gorgeous as well. Our group had so much fun today.

The greens were rolling beautiful. Anything high with spin was holding. Anything else was releasing as they were firm if you were coming in low or short sided. Most greens were medium size and had some swales and multi tiered levels to them. A pleasure to putt on and for sure like most greens you wanted to stay below the pin. Rated 8.5/10.

Fairways were in the 8.75/9 out of 10 range. Lush carpet with great lies and very green. Pretty much palm springs great.

Tees were level, lush and in good shape. Rated 9/10.

Group behind us was not pushing us at all so I threw a couple extra balls in some bunkers and man were the bunkers soft and deep and in great shape. Rated 8,75/10

Rough was very green and lush and in great shape. Up to 3 inches and a club grabber for anything say over a 9 iron. Rated 9/10.

If you get an opportunity to play here at all jump on it. Thx to my brother and law and the YFY for the invite.
